Default Help needed to identify wheels for the F-Type

Hello,

I have been trying over this side of the pond to identify the wheel as seen on the F-Type Coupé. They look a bit larger than 20'' to me also.
Any ideas would be appreciated, Thanks.

Tel, that's the CX-16 concept car that previewed the coupe. I don't know if the wheels on the CX-16 made it onto the production car, but those aren't a million miles away from the gyrodyne wheels

Probably the closest to that style are the 20" Gyrodynes in silver. That's what's on my car.

Look like a cross between the gyrodynes and the blade wheels. In another pic I could see the tire size was 21"

Thanks for the big picture. I think they a subtle mix between Cyclones albeit polished, with Blade CF fittings. The standard Gyrodynes 'spokes' look a little too 'curvey' to me, whereas these are straight like the Cyclones? The plot thickens :-)

Notice though, that there are, where the normal wheel nuts would be, webbed and they are of course secured with one QR Nut.

Try as I might, I cannot find the name or manufacturer though and I want to see my stocking bulging with these babies under the Christmas tree!

That's an awfully big retaining clip on the brake pad/calliper and grooved disks also!

they might have been 'one offs' for the prototype/concept? Milled from solid aluminum.

Oh well, not something I can get off the shelf of 'Wheels R us'!

Anyone give me a price of a cubic metre of Ally?!!! Should be enough for 4 wheels!

Seen so many white coupes but this is one of the first white verts. The non-black gyrodynes look great with white.

Thanks. I thought it was a nice upgrade to the Velas that originally came on the car. I was very happy to find a 2nd-hand set of Gyrodynes mounted with the original P-Zeros and TPMS sensors ready to bolt on for $3K. They only had a few hundred miles on them.
